Our little boom for a national bank
has brought forth an expression from
several citizens either in its favor or
against it and also created SO much
wouderment at Salem at its surprising
development that the Salem Bank is
now thinking seriously of starting a
branch here TO head it off. In conyers-
ing with some of the citizens some re-
sponsible ones have signified a willing
ness to take stock to the amount of
SIS, 200, while several others say they
will take stock but would not name
their amount. 1t is the opinion of
many that a bank could be started and
run here if more of the best capitalists
would give it their support and patron
age but, as some are connected with
banks elsewhere and use their intlu-
ence to take capital away from our
town instead of bringing it in and as
others prefer a death grip mortgage on
other mems property for fear a nation
al bank might fail, Notwithstanding it
is securing by national interest bear
ing bonds, its accomplishment at pres
emf is not assured. However, if a
branch of the Salem bank is started
here it will be an accommodation to
those who now do business with it in
this section but a foreign institute will
not incile the pride and interest that
one would in which the people are
themselves interests and will not give
the satisfaction.

they agreed that the fishermen Of The
two States should mutually lisa The
ships channel of the bAl-and That the
New jersey fishermen should be noti-
fled not to fish westward of The chan
mel as buoyed by the Government.
Fish Commissioner Norney sayshe Las
well authenticated proof that both this
agreement. and the laws Of this state
are being violated by the fishermen
from Bayside, New Jersey, and in the
interests of harmony and that good
will that should exist between the peo-
pie OF two sister states, this letter has
been sent hoping that the grievance
will be promptly stopped avoiding the
necessity Of seizure and c%oulseation Of
their property as well as tie imprison-
ment OF their persons if their personal
fines are not promptly paid. Commits
sioner Norney says he wants to extend
all proper courtesy TO the fishermen Of
New Jersey aud then fully execute
the laws of this state.

PENNSYLVANIA now has a high license
law passed by the Legislature and
signed by Governor Beaver last week.
The licenses range from SO in the
country to $500 in the cities. One
half is paid for the use of township,
one-fourth to the county and o%ne-fourth
to the State. In cities fOur-ffths is
paid to the city and county and one
fifth to the the State. The saloon or
hotel keeper must give a bond of $1,000
for the faithful observance of all the
laws. Licenses are only to be given
to citizens of temperate habits and
good moral character. No liquor shall
be sold to a minor or person of known
Incorporate habits or a person visibly
affected by intoxicating drink under a
penalty of from $50 to $500. This is
a very finely worded bill and would
do some good if it were strictly enforce
ed. Public officials of Philadelphia
say it will reduce the number of sa-
looms in that city from 5000 to 5000.
That will be but little improvement as
all who want liquor can secure it all
the same.
